CALLED TO...STAY AND SEND
Jesus calls us to make disciples. All of us, without exception, can follow Jesus’ command right where we live, in the context of our immediate surroundings. This could be in school, in the workplace, with our friends, or even in the privacy of our own home! Every church member can ask, “Where I am, and with what I’ve been given, how can I honour Christ in seeking to make disciples right here, right now? Local mission is necessary and is the most natural manifestation of Chri

Jesus in The Lord of the Rings
Jesus as the prophet can be seen in the character of Gandalf. Gandalf paints an applicable picture of both the biblical prophet and of Jesus the ultimate prophet. The wizard’s death, resurrection and transfiguration all point to Christ. Like Jesus, Gandalf comes with a message which calls others to respond, to live in hope for truth and goodness. Gandalf is seen as a fulfilment of a work that only he could bring to completion, echoing the unique role of Christ as the ultimate prophet.

Seeds.
Seeds. is a weekly series of stories about the interesting and diverse people who study, work & visit the College. These stories of growth are created with the hope of sharing the work of God through personal testimonies of real people. Jordan "I'm preparing and I'm studying and I'm doing things to hopefully help people I haven't even met yet." Excitement about future possibilities can distract us from what God is doing now.

Look Past the Headline
Dr. Cindy Brown urges us to listen to and love the world as God loves the world. As we interact with the news, let us look past the headlines to where the Spirit wants to bring the Gospel to meet the needs of the world and move past ‘hashtag’ trends to a deeper understanding as people of the Kingdom of God.

Context is Everything - lessons from Nepal
Peter McDowell is our new Lecturer in Missiology, so he took a moment out of his preparing for teaching for us to ask him a few questions. So how are you? I'm good, it’s good to be here. It feels like my wife and I have done a lot of different things in a lot of different places, but at each point we look at what’s coming next. For me, teaching has always been a vocation. I like sharing with groups, and helping people (and myself) learn, grow and develop. So this feels

A world without Down Syndrome
The telling of our collective human story requires the inclusion and dynamic of subjectivity – of personal and often passionate views. Objectivity cannot be the only respected narrative if we want society to progress humanly. We also need to hear the benevolent bias of human beings living in constant closeness to people whom competitive societies might not value. At times we must lean far out over the bow to restore balanc

The Beginning
In the Bible ‘the Beginning’ has great significance; we learn about the beginning of the world, the Word, and we learn how prophets and disciples began their ministry. So as a College we place a special emphasis on ‘the Beginning’ of studies for all students. We begin as we mean to continue, focused on God, His Word, and His Work in this world. We invite all students, their families, friends and church leaders to

Halfway House Drama
In partnership with Contemporary Christianity we will be hosting "Halfway House" a play by Philip Orr. The play is set in 1966 and is a converstation between two women from different communities who take refuge from a snowstorm in a pub called the Halfway House on the Glenshane Pass. 1966 is also half way between 1916 and the present day so offers an interesting perspective on history and provokes us to

Sabbath-making as Soul-keeping
Over the course of a busy semester at Belfast Bible College the pressure from assignments and exams, administration, teaching, homes, health, placements, and worries is felt not only in our souls and minds but also our bodies. Now and again we have phases in life when we just plain get tired, and we need a break from pressing labours. But sometimes, if we’re honest, we reach this place less because of this or that particular o

Re-reading well known biblical stories
There are some stories in the bible that we know very well, having heard them from Sunday school onwards. This familiarity can sometimes be a problem, as we can lose the ability to be challenged or inspired by them.[1] How do we read such stories well?[2] As an example, let us think about a very well-known story: David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. One key question to ask in reading the story is why David acted the way that he did. He is introdu

Can I be a Christian & be a worrier?
‘Every single person who ever lived is personally familiar with fear. It is an inescapable feature of earthly life….Fear is natural to us. We don’t have to learn it. We experience fear and anxiety even before there is any logical reason for them.’[1] Some level of stress is good. It’s what helps a student submit their assignment by the deadline. But too much stress can cause that same student to sink into a deb

Brexit and the Sovereignty of God
One week on from the momentous vote and a single word captures the mood of the nation: ‘uncertainty’. Uncertainty about future relationships with Europe, our economic stability and the internal cohesion of the United Kingdom. How are Christians supposed to respond? One theologically-loaded word that resonated around the debates before the referendum is ‘sovereignty’. The brexiteers’ slogan was
